Popular Post webfact Posted April 16 Popular Post Share Posted April 16 Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin at Thaksin Shinawatra’s Ban Chan Song La residence in Thonburi. (Inset) The Prime Minister wishes Mr Thaksin a Happy New Year as part of Songkran by pouring water over his head. Major cabinet reshuffle talks confirmed by PM Srettha Thavisin after a Songkran visit to former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in Thonburi. Several ministers, including the senior ones at public health and defence, are expected to be replaced. Despite weeks of conflicting messages and denials by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, on Tuesday, he conceded that talks about a cabinet reshuffle will commence. Mr Srettha was speaking during a visit to pay a Songkran courtesy call on former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. This took place at Thaksin’s residence in the Thonburi area of Bangkok on Tuesday morning. In the shakeup, Minister of Public Health Cholnan Srikaew looks likely to be axed along with Minister of Defence Sutin Klangsaeng. At the same time, a key Thaksin confidante is tipped to assume the chair at the Ministry of Finance and become a new deputy prime minister. There are also less reliable reports of a return to the cabinet of General Prawit Wongsuwan as a deputy prime minister. Public Health Minister Cholnan Srikaew is rumoured to be for the chop. In short, it comes as speculation grows of a cabinet reshuffle. The Public health Minister who has been under pressure with controversial new legislation to control marijuana, is earmarked to join the parliamentary ranks instead. by Joseph O' Connor Full story: Thai Examiner.com 2024-04-17 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srettha has remained non-committal to any hush-hush moves toward the first round of a cabinet reshuffle, saying nothing about it can be said with clarity at the moment though many people may anticipate it even sooner than later.
